Most people are not aware of that, so this article will hopefully clear the waters a bit.  We are  RDS Real Estate, serving the Greater Fort Worth Metro area with affordable commercial and industrial properties for lease.

What is a traditional warehouse for rent?

A warehouse is a place where products or materials can get stored before they move to another location. It’s a crucial element to your supply chain management. And some types of warehouses get used and designed for different reasons.

Types of warehouses available.

There are various names which describe the many types of warehouses available; this list is in no way comprehensive, but it does cover the most important types:

  • Private warehouse
  • Public warehouse
  • Cold-storage warehouse
  • Bonded warehouse
  • Smart warehouse
  • Distribution center
  • Hazardous materials warehouse

There is no such thing as a cookie-cutter design to warehouses these days.  The traditional mammoths of the past, the 100,000 square-foot warehouses, are slowly being phased out, replaced by warehouses suitable for smaller businesses.  We can even show you a warehouse for rent or office warehouse for rent, in Fort Worth, at Box Office Warehouse Suites, in the Fort Worth Design District, which is only 320-square-feet in size, so it is safe to say there is a warehouse for you available somewhere in your city.

Which is best for you?

We do not have the answer to that question for you, but you need to be aware of what you will need in a warehouse because they will cost you.

Depending upon the size and scope of your business, you may need the following for your warehouse:

  • Pallet racks or industrial shelving
  • Pallet jack
  • Forklift
  • Inventory control software
  • Loading dock
  • Bay doors

Obviously, not all warehouses need all of these things. A very small warehouse may only require a pallet jack and room to maneuver within. You may or may not need a loading dock. Each situation is different and only you, the business owner, will know what exactly is needed.

The good news: there are literally millions of warehouses standing across the United States, so the supply is there.  And there is also a new option: small warehouse spaces in Self Storage facilities, offering 24/7 access, perfect for small companies in need of small storage solutions.

The bottom line is this: if you need a warehouse for rent, there is no shortage of them available in most major cities.  Start calling around to find out what your options are in your city.
